New way to borrow E-books and Audiobooks

New way to borrow E-books and Audiobooks

E-Books from Stirling Council Libraries are moving to a new platform.

Access to digital e-books and audiobooks will switch from RBdigital to the Libby app on Tuesday 23 February, 2021.

Libby is a free, award-winning app where library members can continue to borrow and enjoy digital content from their public library.

Readers will still be able to access their current downloads on RBdigital for the length of the lending period for each title, even if that date goes past the switchover on 23 February.

However, after this point users will have to download and sign up to Libby to browse, borrow, and enjoy all the same great e-books and audiobooks which were available in the RBdigital app from Stirling Libraries.

There will be some downtime in the RB Digital app in the afternoon of the 23rd February during the switchover.

Police Report – Feb 2021

Police Report – Feb 2021

Police Scotland have shared with us their report covering 18th Jan 2021 – 17th Feb 2021.  Read the report here.

The Community Policing Team have been liaising with Bridge of Allan golf club after they raised some issues in which they were having in relation to damage to the course and fence due to sledging on the course. The committee have asked that member of the community who are using the grounds to sledge please be mindful of the course and the other property nearby i.e. fencing (which appears to be broken after persons have been sledging into it).

The pop up policeman has been deployed on 3 occasion within Henderson Street (both ends) and Sherrifmuir Road. CPT will continue to use this and it appears to be having a positive impact on drivers.
